"My Feb 2014 trip"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 4 Feb 2014 and 28 Feb 2014
"Very good holiday. As it was a trip to the unknown we needed assurance on safety etc. 4wd drive essential. The double cab pickup we had was ideal. Small car option with 4wd not good enough. We had to help someone stuck in the riverbed.

Would have been helpful to have had stopping points on journey pointed out eg petrified Forest. Was very glad not to have stayed at Ludderitz ( did you recommend Nest Hotel ?)

2 failed card payments gone through bank although failed at the time at Fish River Lodge, so paid cash. Will try to recover through credit card company or will be back to you" Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"My Feb 2014 trip"

I visited South Africa between 1 Feb 2014 and 8 Feb 2014
"Another great trip arranged by Expert Africa.

To improve things if we did a week again, we'd stay in just one place for the first 2 nights, not 2 as we did this time. It was just a little rushed" Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 6 on a South Africa trip

"South Africa yet again"

I visited South Africa between 27 Jan 2014 and 12 Feb 2014
"We have been to sub-Sahara Africa fourteen times now, althogh not always to South Africa and not always with Expert Africa. This was another good trip with good sightseeing, game viewing, food and wine. An extra night would have been useful at some venues, but we had to cope with a fixed time slot.

Africa is an incurable disease - we will be back for more." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 13 on a South Africa trip

"Well done Tracy, virtually perfect holiday"

I visited South Africa between 18 Jan 2014 and 8 Feb 2014
"Apart from the hiccup at Storms River this holiday was absolutely perfect for us. Interesting places to see and excellent accommodation. We do love the contrasts that Tracy gave us.

We fell in love with South Africa, its people, its food and of course that absolutely glorious weather.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No, we really like this company and will be back!" Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 14 on a South Africa trip

"One of Our Best Holidays !"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 15 Dec 2013 and 2 Jan 2014
"This was certainly one of our best ever holidays and up there with New Zealand and Australia. We loved Namibia even though it was the rainy season. The combination of Cape Town and Namibia was perfect. Thank you Expert Africa !

We used Air France from Manchester to Cape Town via Paris and booked this ourselves as we got good deals.

A mention about Wilderness Safaris as they were always helpful when we contacted them. Again thank you." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip
